May 24 Sermon Video
Anna McAnnally kicked off our summer "That’ll Preach" Lay Preaching Series on May 24, 2026 with a sermon titled "The Unitarian Universalist Land of Oz." She explored how the 14 Wizard of Oz books can help survive authoritarianism by channeling children's ideas about the way things should be, allowing us to hold onto optimism while learning and planning for a better world.
